"honestly was not consciously in orange pill mode."
Sometimes I think my best orange pill moments are derived from this sort of mindset. Perhaps it removes the "this person is trying to sell me something" vibe from the listeners perspective.
I was in Vegas recently playing poker and wonderfully enough a small business owner, a young left-leaning guy, and myself had a really nice back and forth conversation about bitcoin that all started with talking about inflation and why it exists and how it's effecting each one of us. Both of these guys were really receptive to what i had to say because it was just a conversation that wasn't started by me and i really had no intent to orange pill. However, I was getting some serious head nods of understanding and intrigue as i spoke my piece on some potential solutions to the issues that they were both organically bringing up. I unfortunately didn't bring up the amazing case for peer to peer charity.
I am sure crypto people will come up with something for TAOs as well in due time. Gotta keep the grift assembly line running. I think it is a great orange pill tool that we can compare the work of folks like @anita to the crap that comes out of crypto as evidence of why Bitcoin is different.
I think the Fifth Circuit rule along the lines of the Supreme Courtâs ruling in Looper contra the Chevron rulings. The agencies were not given law-making abilities which are also regulation making abilities beyond the preview of the law made by congress.
They cannot make regulations and rules beyond congressional permissions.
Other people have made good points. But one thing I think hasn't been discussed is incentives to attack Bitcoin: because zeroconf transactions rely on the P2P network, both merchants trying to rely on them, and attackers trying to double spend, have incentives to attack the P2P network.
The latter is more obvious: if you sybil attack the network, DoS miner's nodes, etc. you can break the very weak consensus that zeroconf is relying on. We don't want people to have a profit motive to attack Bitcoin nodes, so full-rbf is desirable by taking away that profit motive.
The latter is less obvious: merchants trying to do "risk management" of zeroconf transactions inevitably find they have to try to measure propagation of transactions. But because Bitcoin has decent privacy protections, the only way to do that is for the merchants to perform sybil attacks against the P2P network! While this is a mild attack per merchant, it adds up: eventually the whole network will run out of connection slots. Again, we don't want this incentive to exist. And of course, since only a small number of merchants can successfully do this, it's very centralized.
Finally, in the past we've seen merchants try to make deals with miners to make zeroconf more reliable. This is really ugly at the end stage, because the only really effective way to guarantee zeroconf txs get mined is to get miners to do 51% attacks on miners who don't mine the "right" transactions that "came first". Due to the P2P attacks, and the general lack of consensus in the mempool, it is impossible for smaller, non-anonymous, miners to always mine the "right" txs.
So yeah, when v24.0 is released, please set mempoolfullrbf=1 on your home nodes, and mining nodes. It's better for everyone if we get rid of this opt-in-rbf/zeroconf nonsense.
your wishes have been granted đȘ
History of voter turnout in the US:

Too many people think they have a duty to "stay informed" and "their vote matters". So they spend 100s of hours a year consumed with the current thing just so they can cast their ballot with confidence.
Getting the "correct" group of people into the broken system is not going to make your life any better.
You can improve your own situation 1000x more effectively by ignoring the clown show and focusing on what you can control.
@FrickFrickFrick I don't know if you will see this but sincerely here is some advice. Don't take "people" online personal. None of this is real. I'm including myself here. We are all personas. You are as well. You are better off adjusting your perspective of online discourse. I'm not excusing or condemning anyone's behavior online but when you realize it isn't real... it changes the way you receive communications. I don't know you, you don't know me. We could have 1000s of exchanges on this site. You still don't know me. Don't kid yourself. I see this a lot online. Our online personas are just that. Personas. Not the real person.
Take it or leave it. My advice here is sincere, I have allowed others to trigger me online. I still do at times but now I realize, that's my flaw. I need to see the Internet for what it truly is.
